Farming is one of things you can do living in a province area. It nevers goes out of style. According to my highschool teacher, agricultural farming is the backbone of the community.
Living in a province is simple yet satisfying. You will be engrossed more in planting crops and also you will have a healthy greener environment with fresh air and also away from the busy life of the city, pollution, crowded places and unhealthy environment.
My father is a farmer and also a boat captain of a pumpboat. Since the COVID-19 pandemic has begun he seldom delivered goods from one island to another. He used his time in planting crops such as corns, sweet potato and more.
When I was a kid, I always think farmer is the least profession of all yet as I grow older they are the most significant profession of all.
Just imagine life without a farmer is life without FOOD! I certainly couldn't survive in such environment!
My mother is also a farmer and a flower plant lover. She loves collecting new kinds of flower and letting them grow. Sometimes, people visit our home and collects flowers. Often they are free but some visitors pays for it especially if it's a rare kind of flower plant.
Besides having a mother and father which is a farmer. I am learning to become one too. I had tried planting in our backyard garden some plants such as garclic, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, lemon grass, babana, papaya, avocado, blueternate or butterfly pea flower and many more. Here are some of my plants:
These are only few pictures of the crops we grow at home as farming. It is one of our work here in our island since then.
I am not ashamed that my parents are a farmer. I am proud because they are one. They had provided us with our needs since birth.
To all farmers out there, we salute your hardwork and sacrifices. You are greatly needed in our community. You provide us with with fresh vegetables, fruits, crops that helps shapen our healthy mind, body and soul. You help us with our nutrition by providing our basic necessity which is food. We could not live without you --- who is tired digging soils and cultivating it, planting crops, watered them and taking care of it, resulting to satisfy the hunger of every human being.
You all did a great job.
Farmers are worthy of the praise and recognition.
I am a worker's child. Also, my goal is to start a small farm. I will feed ducks and chickens. I am also thinking of doing beekeeping. Then I will grow crops like potatoes.
